Course streams

Broadband technology and services

Countries around the world are investing in their broadband infrastructure, including Australia’s National Broadband Network (NBN). This stream of subjects covers the design, management and implementation of corporate networks in the context of an underlying high-speed broadband infrastructure.

Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP)

The CCNP preparation stream extends the CCNA basics by offering more advanced study of the design, implementation and troubleshooting of both local and wide area networks, as well as advanced topics in security, voice, wireless and video. Students who complete all subjects in this stream will be prepared to sit for the Cisco CCNP certification exams.

Network security

Organisations are facing an increasing need to ensure the security of their corporate networks. This stream of subjects covers current best practice in cryptography and security protocols, plus the ability to apply the theory in practice using industry-standard Cisco equipment. You can also learn to design secure enterprise networks and understand related management and legal issues.

Web technologies

Internetworking is about more than just protocols – you also need to know how to build applications in a distributed, networked environment. This stream offers a range of subjects in developing web applications using current technologies such as Web Services, J2EE and .NET.

Wireless and mobile

Wireless networks and the applications that use them are changing the way the world works and plays. This stream covers a variety of different wireless and mobile networking technologies, as well as how to build next-generation applications which take advantage of mobility.
